"AddictingGames is launching new games everyday and works with more than
one-thousand developers," said
Over the next 12 months, AddictingGames will reward the developers of the top 25 qualifying games that generate the most game plays, ranked by the site, at the end of each calendar quarter. The bonus percentage awarded to a developer each quarter will be pro-rated according to the total number of game plays generated by a particular qualifying game, divided by the total game plays of the top 25 qualifying games combined. For example, if the total game plays generated from the top 25 qualifying games in the quarter equates to 100 million, and an individual top 25 game generates five million game plays in that quarter, that developer will be awarded five percent of the total bonus pool.
All qualifying games will continue to be eligible for the Bonus Program as long as the game remains on AddictingGames and adheres to the Bonus Program eligibility rules. For details on qualifications for the Bonus Program, visit http://www.addictinggames.com/aboutus/ausg.html.
